Welcome<br />
A message from our<br />
Vice Chancellor<br />
Welcome to our September<br />
2022 edition of Connect.<br />
Alongside the rest of the nation,<br />
our community is deeply<br />
saddened by the loss of Her<br />
Majesty the Queen. We take<br />
great comfort in the knowledge<br />
that she was an inspiration to so<br />
many and that her dedication<br />
and commitment to service will<br />
live on in our new sovereign His<br />
Majesty, King Charles III. Turn to<br />
page 5 to read an obituary from<br />
historian, Dr Sean Lang.<br />
For those of you who graduated<br />
